Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) free beta-subunit levels were determined in 709 control and 13 Down syndrome urine samples from the second trimester of pregnancy. Results were normalized to urine creatinine concentration and converted to multiples of the unaffected pregnancy medium (MOM). The con

Published studies have reached varying conclusions as to the benefit of replacing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) measurements with the free -subunit of hCG (the free -subunit) for Down syndrome screening. One study reports 14 per cent higher detection for the free -subunit, while another finds a

In a study of 69 random urine samples from cases of Down syndrome and 405 samples from unaffected pregnancies, we have assessed the value of various candidate markers that have been proposed as tools for screening for Down syndrome. We found that the marker urine free beta hCG in Down syndrome had a
